PREFACE 


HE  CABINET  was  organized  in  1838  and  first  recognized  in  an 
appropriation  made  by  Congress,  March  3,  1839.  This  appropri- 
ation was  ( '  for  specimens  of  ores  and  coins  to  be  reserved  at  the 
Mint,"  and  has  been  continued  through  subsequent  years  to  the  present 
time.  At  first  United  States  coins  were  preserved  from  year  to  year  by 
Mr.  Adam  Eckfeldt,  together  with  some  foreign  coins  which  were  re- 
ceived as  deposits  and  withheld  from  the  melting  pot. 

In  i860  a  descriptive  catalogue,  entitled  " Coins  of  All  Nations,"  was 
published  under  the  auspices  of  the  Director  of  the  Mint,  Hon.  James  Ross 
Snowden,  and  prepared  by  Mr.  George  Bull,  who  was  in  charge  of  the 
Cabinet.  He  received  valuable  advice  and  assistance  from  Mr.  William 
E.  Dubois,  who  was  at  that  time  Assistant  Assayer  and  Curator  of  the 
Cabinet.  It  was  and  is  a  very  valuable  work,  but  so  costly  that  very  few 
were  sold  to  the  many  thousand  visitors.  Many  coins  and  medals  have 
been  added  since  1 860,  and  in  their  selection  and  purchase  their  histori- 
cal interest  has  been  considered  of  most  importance.  The  coins  of  all 
countries,  ancient  and  modern,  are  arranged  chronologically,  and  num- 
bered in  their  respective  cases.  By  the  assistance  of  this  publication, 
which  gives  the  numbers  that  include  the  different  countries,  biographi- 
cal and  geographical  indexes,  the  value  of  foreign  coins,  and  other  mat- 
ters relating  to  coins,  it  is  thought  the  interest  of  the  visitor  will  be  much 
increased.  Coins  and  medals  are  historically  of  great  value  as  the  indices 
of  progress  in  science  and  art.

COINS  AND  MEDALS. 


GREEK  REPUBLICS. 

No.  Case  I. 

1-141.  Coins  of  the  Greek  Republics. 
B.  C.  700-300.  Representing  the  coin- 
age of  eighty-five  different  cities  and 
colonies.  The  highest  point  of  excel- 
lence in  the  art  of  engraving  or  die 
sinking,  either  in  ancient  or  modern 
times,  was  about  the  time  of  the  fourth 
century  before  Christ.  The  coins  gen- 
erally reflect  the  art  of  the  period  and 
the  places  from  which  they  were  issued. 
It  was  considered  sacrilege  for  any  hu- 
man head  to  be  on  a  coin,  and  the  main 
object  of  the  coin-type  or  obverse,  was 
to  place  before  the  people  an  ideal  rep- 
resentation of  the  divinity  most  hon- 
ored in  the  district  in  which  the  coin 
was  destined  to  circulate.  The  head  of 
Alexander  the  Great  was  the  first  to 
appear  on'  a  coin,  as  son  of  Zeus  Am- 
nion, and,  as  one  after  another  of  his 
generals  assumed  the  title  of  King, 
each  in  turn  was  emboldened  to  place 
his  own  portrait  on  his  money.

ROMAN  EMPIRE. 

Case  II.

Case  VI. 
1087-1178.  Byzantine  Empire. 

The  principal  Roman  coin  was  the  de- 
narius ;  weight  about  60  grains,  value 
near  16  cents.  The  denarius  gradually 
decreased  in  weight  and  fineness,  until 
about  the  time  of  Elagabalus  it  was  worth 
not  more  than  6  cents.  From  the  dena- 
rius we  ascertain  the  value  of  the  inferior 
coins.  It  was  worth  10  asses  and  after- 
wards 16  asses,  and  equal  to  4  sester- 
tia  and  2  quinari.  The  denarius  is 
supposed  to  be  the  origin  of  the  British 
penny. 

The  aureus,  or  gold  coin,  was  double 
the  weight  of  the  denarius,  and  under  the 
first  emperors  was  worth  about  $5  ;  it  also 
decreased  in  value.  In  the  time  of  the 
sons  of  Constantine  it  was  worth  about 
$3,  and  continued  at  that  for  eight  or 
nine  centuries.  The  gold  solidus  of  the 
Byzantine  Empire  was  the  currency  of  all 
Europe  in  the  Middle  Ages,  and  is  often 
met  with  in  histories  of  those  times.

IDENTIFICATION  OF  COINS. 

The  obverse  of  coins  usually  bears  the  head  or  bust  of  the  ruler,  with  his  or  her 
name  and  title,  if  of  a  monarchy  ;  or  a  figure  or  emblem  of  liberty,  if  of  a  republic. 
The  name  of  the  country  aud  date  is  usually  on  the  obverse  side. 

The  reverse  usually  bears  the  national  or  royal  coat  of  arms,  and  the  denomina- 
tion of  the  coin.  The  name  of  the  country  is  often  given  in  Latin,  and  sometimes 
abbreviated,  as  follows : 

OESTEREICH  (Austria).  Bayern  (Bavaria).  Cambodge  (Cambodia).  Daniae, 
Dansk  (Denmark).  BEIGES  (Belgium).  Bras.  (Brazil).  FrancaisE  (France). 
Britanniarum  (Great  Britain).  DeuTChes  Reich  (Germany).  Hamb.  (Hamburg). 
D'lTAUA  (Italy).  NorGES  (Norway).  Netheri^anden  (Netherlands).  Norem 
(Nuremburg).  Peruana  (Peru).  Portug.  (Portugal).  PreusSEN  (Prussia).  Espana 
(Spain).  Sachsen,  Sachs  (Saxony).  Sueriges  (Sweden).  Hei/vetia  (Switzer- 
land). 

MINERALS. 

The  mineralogical  Cabinet  embraces  several  hundred  specimens.  Among  those 
of  interest  to  visitors  are  : 

A  fac-simile  of  a  nugget  of  gold  from  Australia ;  the  value  of  the  original  was 
about  $23,000. 

A  speck  of  gold,  extracted  from  5  ozs.  of  lead  ore ;  it  represents  one  part  in 
6,220,000  parts.  The  speck  is  so  minute,  that  it  would  require  several  hundreds  of 
them  to  make  a  cent's  worth  of  gold.    It  is  curious  as  a  specimen  of  minute  assaying. 

A  number  of  rare  specimens  of  gold,  silver  and  copper  of  peculiar  shape. 

A  vivianite,  or  phosphate  of  iron,  the  largest  specimen  known. 

An  agate  geode,  from  Oberstein,  on  the  Rhine,  which,  being  cut  in  half,  exhibits 
the  curious  structure  of  such  geodes.  And  many  more  interesting  specimens,  which, 
for  want  of  space,  we  cannot  enumerate.
